A VERY PUNK XMAS!!!
Admiral Ackbar's Dishonourable Discharge
Known for their over energetic and messy live shows, constant cast rotation, never say die attitude and their lack of personal preservation Admiral Ackbar's Dishonourable Discharge have been spewing their off brand of not quite punk, not quite ska, not quite good music across stages since 2011.
The Murderballs
With an uncontrollable urge to play and an energy which defies logic, The Murderballs will not, nay, cannot stop until rock 'n' roll is saved from the mundane and once again takes its rightful place as king. Only then will Jenny, Kynny and Lenny be content to fade away into rock 'n' roll history. Either that or become obscure cult heroes...
Undamaged
Four human shaped entities have been trained in the art of musicjitsu by an anthropomorphic rat sensei.
From their home in the streets of Melbourne, Victoria, they battle against social constructs, stigmas, and the thought police; all whilst attempting to remain hidden from society.
That is, until now...
We are going to have give aways, drink specials, and will probably have Twisted Sisters "A Twisted Christmas" on repeat all night when the bands aren't playing. It's going to be epic!

Thaks Ali "Moodswings" with Busy Kingdom and The Reveries
Fri January 4th, 7:30 pm - Sat January 5th, 12:00 am
Whole Lotta Love
524 Lygon St
Brunswick East, VIC 3057 Map
Returning from a Danish sabbatical, Thaks Ali celebrates the independent release of EP #2; ‘MOODSWINGS’. Self recorded and produced with gratitude towards the people who provided space and support in Copenhagen, ‘MOODSWINGS’ displays a soft and subtle approach. An emphasis on dynamics overshadows the layers of pedals applied to bass, with ambient vocals delicately placed in the mix.
Alongside are Busy Kingdom. An indie rock quartet with clean harmonies, pop sensibilities and infectious songs. Well versed in the Melbourne gigging route, Busy Kingdom are a high caliber crew of musicians as well as close friends.
With Robert Patton at the helm, The Reveries will open the evening with their own gritty brand of Blues Rock. A three piece with lots of room for improvisation between the grooves, the band are an exciting foray into the melding of blues and psych rock within a singer/songwriter context.
$8 entry - good vibes and good beers. See you there!
